Photon (Male Reader X MCU)

Some Assembly Required

The Night of May 1st 2012

"Ok but you gotta hold me up or I'm fall," Y/N exclaimed, wobbling.

"You'll be fine, your tough. Falling on your ass won't kill you." Roxy taunted as she glided past him.

Out on yet another date, Y/N was learning how to ice skate and unfortunately for his pride, failing. He let go of the railing and went to step forward but lost his footing and fells face first into the ice.

Roxy laughed at him before helping him up.

"Please help me get off," he begged. She obliged teasing him as she helped him leave the rink.

"Thank you now lets go get some hot chocolate, and you can bring me back to your ring of doom next week." Y/N said while trying to take his skates off.

They walked over to the vendor and Y/N paid for the drinks, handing one to his girlfriend while sipping from the other.

"Ice skating is not that bad Y/N, its great I feel so free on the ice," she commented taking another sip of her drink.

"I think I'd be more at home skydiving to be honest, now that's freeing." He stated with Roxy giving him an amused smile.

"So your saying you'd feel more free plummeting to your death, than skating across ice?" She asked.

"Absolutely. 100% No doubt in my mind," he replied back. They arrived at a table alongside the ice rink and seated themselves, "all I'm saying is I'm more comfortable running into the flames. As opposed to freezing my ass off at a skating rink." She waved him off, rolling her eyes and smirking.

"So did you remember to rehearse your lines for that group project in drama?" She asked, looking at him. Y/N looked down sheepishly.

"Y/N," she groaned, "we have to present it in three days. James and Brandon already know their parts."

"Sorry I kinda forgot, I was busy-"

"Yeah yeah, I know. Your job that keeps you away for days at a time," she exclaimed irritatedly, "the one you won't tell me anything about. And there's also the nights when you disappear from your apartment. I do try to go by your apartment you know, but your never there." Y/N gulped, after the gang wars the year before and video of a similar figure during the rampage in Harlem, many people had taken to calling him a vigilante, the blue flash.

However he still hadn't told Roxy any of this and had been struggling to juggle saving the world with being an attentive boyfriend.

At that moment Y/N's phone started ringing, the caller ID was for Coulson.

"Saved by the bell then," Roxy stated rolling her eyes and crossing her arms. The boy quickly picked up the phone.

"Hey Phil, now's really not a good time. I'm being grilled here."

'Sorry kiddo but we need you to come in, this is a big one.'

"It couldn't possibly be bigger than my girlfriend getting mad at me because I keep disappearing all the time."

'Y/N it's a level 7. Barton's been compromised and we've got a being from another world. I'm sorry, I really am, but we're calling everyone in.'

"Clint's been compromised? How?"

'Our best guess at the moment is brainwashing, we believe we're dealing with Loki, the brother of the God who came to New Mexico a couple years back.'

"Fuck... I'll be right there. Gimme twenty to walk Rox home." He said with Coulson agreeing and hanging up the call.
